In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

"Stop, eat your food. By the way, I have something good to show you."

Xia Mu gave her sister a hard knock on the forehead, stopping her from drinking any more.

Then, he took out a shiny object from the sealed scroll.

It was the crystal core that the Flame Beast had dropped.

"what is this?"

"A gemstone for your sister? I don't really like these fancy but impractical things. You'd be better off having a couple more drinks with me."

Kurenai looked at the thing in Natsuki's hand with a puzzled expression.

"No, this is a great thing that can increase your total chakra."

Xia Mu picked one up and placed it in her sister's hand: "Squeeze it!"

Kurenai stared blankly at the crystal core in her hand for a moment, then exerted her strength.

Click!

A stream of light instantly emanated from it.

It then seeped into the skin.

Kurenai felt a cool energy spreading from her palms to her arms, and then throughout her entire body.

The chakra within his body instantly surged to nearly 50% of its total.

“This… this is.”

Kurenai Yuhi stared in disbelief. Could there really be such a wonderful thing in the ninja world?

"Hehe, this was dropped by that Flame Beast. Don't worry, there's more."

Xia Mu put another one on.

However, the second one was far less effective than the first.

Ultimately, it was found that each person could only use five pills. After the sixth pill, they had no effect whatsoever.

But these five are enough to double a person's total chakra.

This immediately caused his overall strength to increase exponentially.

Good stuff. I'll use five myself, and the extra dozens will be given as rewards to the club members.

"Xia Mu, you are amazing."

Feeling the increase in her strength, Kurenai happily picked up her wine glass and leaned over: "Shall we have a drink?"

Xia Mu tilted his head slightly, his eyes flashing. His sister's exquisitely beautiful face was almost touching his, and her breath reeked of alcohol.

"Tch! All they do is offer verbal praise; they don't give any real rewards."

Xia Mu deliberately spoke in a disdainful tone, but still clinked her wine glass against her sister's.

Then drink it all in one gulp.

That's enough, let's stop drinking here. As a ninja, you must always stay alert.

"Hehe, Xia Mu, you're my pride."

Seeing her younger brother's boldness, Kurenai chuckled and downed her drink in one gulp.

The next moment, Xia Mu felt a slight moistness on her cheeks.

He couldn't help but instinctively turn his face away.

Then, on the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the siblings, both orphans from the same once-powerful family, suddenly widened their eyes in surprise…

089: Konoha Town Treasure

Feeling the warm, moist touch, Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Even the slightly sweet and slightly spicy liquor was passed on to the equally surprised older sister.

A moment later, Kurenai was the first to regain consciousness, slightly turning her head to break free from contact.

To ease the awkwardness, he raised his hand and gently tapped Xia Mu's head.

"Silly Natsuki, why did you suddenly turn around and startle your sister?"

"What? The guilty party is accusing the innocent first? Sis, you scared me."

When it comes to arguing, Xia Mu has never lost as long as her older sister doesn't cheat.

"Hmph, you little brat. If I say you're wrong, then you're wrong, and you're not allowed to talk back."

Ha, he's cheating.

"Eat your food, don't let it get cold."

Xia Mu rolled her eyes and changed the subject.

Then, the two devoured the food on the table with lightning speed, as if they were fighting over it.

I haven't felt this carefree and relaxed in a long time, and before I knew it, I had drunk several large glasses of liquor.

"Okay, let's pack up tomorrow. I'm tired today. I'm going to rest now."

Xia Mu snatched the last large bottle of liquor, forbidding his sister from drinking any more. He then yawned and got up to walk towards the bedroom.

"Ah, no, let me have just one more sip."

Kurenai Yuhi spoke in a coquettish tone, sticking out her tongue and slapping the table twice.

After drinking, she was nothing like an older sister.

"Heh, not a chance!"

Xia Mu chuckled and shook the bottle in his hand. Just as his sister came rushing over, howling, he closed the door.

"Xia Mu, you've turned your heart upside down. Your sister raised you with so much love and care..."

Kurenai Yuhi pounded on the door several times.

He then shook his slightly dizzy head, turned his eyes, and went to the cupboard next door, where he found a key.

Back in the bedroom, Xia Mu placed the wine bottle on the table and took out the crystal cores dropped by the magical beast again, crushing five of them in turn.

Sure enough, the chakra within his body immediately began to boil.

The chakra that was already comparable to that of a Kage-level powerhouse has been doubled by these five crystal cores, reaching an extremely terrifying amount.

Although it hasn't reached the near-endless chakra level of the Nine-Tails.

But it is by no means weaker than Kisame, who is known as the tailless tailed beast.

Furthermore, as members rapidly grow into genin, he is able to extract more power and gain even more terrifying strength.

Today, I've gained both strength and reputation; it truly is a lucky day.

As drowsiness overcame her, Xia Mu finally fell asleep peacefully with a smile on her face.

A moment later, the doorknob turned quietly.

Kurenai Yuhi sneaked in.

"Hmph! You're too green to mess with me."

Seeing that her younger brother was indeed asleep, she couldn't help but feel a secret joy at having done something naughty.

He picked up the liquor on the desk and downed it in one gulp.

Tons, tons, tons!

Halfway through feeling down, I remembered that my younger brother didn't like my drinking, so I finally let it go.

"belch……"

Hehe, but I've had enough to drink.

He glanced at his younger brother one last time, then quietly closed the door and went back to his own room to rest.

Half an hour later, Xia Mu's door was opened again.

The crimson pajamas of the setting sun have returned.

"Sigh... I can't sleep without hugging something after drinking."

I slipped into bed, gently hugged the cute Natsuki-themed pillow, and gradually drifted off to sleep.

……

The next morning.

The dazzling golden sunlight streaming into the room woke Xia Mu up first.

I tried to get up, but found I couldn't move.

Did you experience sleep paralysis?

As I opened my eyes and my thoughts gradually cleared, I realized it was my older sister, that octopus.

"As expected, it's you again."
